State people pushed towards Stone-Age -------------------------------------------------------------- Internet services continues to be suspended Srinagar, Aug 13, CNS: Students, professionals, academicians, students and journalists continue to suffer on account of suspension of internet services in Kashmir Valley. Scores of students told CNS that are unable to download examination forms as the date for the submission of the forms are approaching nearer. “It seems we are living in stone-age. Nowhere in world any government deprives its people from the right to freedom of speeches but in Kashmir the situation is different and here government is using all means to lock them in sheds like cattle,” a student from South Kashmir Haroon told CNS adding that he is unable to download the examination form for the SET. Like students, business community and other professionals are aghast over the government decision to suspend internet service. “It is the job of the police to book rumour mongers and take action against those few who use social networking sites to disrupt the peace but to make their job easy they suspend internet services and made all people to suffer heavily,” a journalist said. He said that if somebody is doing wrong the police should book him. “Government has no right to treat all alike. I am using internet for the business purposes but facing the burnt just because government is afraid of few rumour mongers whom they are unable to apprehend,” said a businessman. "When information is gagged, rumours always run wild. I wonder what they want to achieve by this internet suspension, except for telling the world that Jammu and Kashmir is being pushed into another Stone Age," said an academician adding that how long we are going to pass through these odd situations. Mobile Internet services were on Sunday suspended in Jammu and Kashmir following tension in Jammu region, which have been hit by communal riots. The mobile Internet services were earlier also snapped in the wake of hanging of Parliament attack convict Mohammad Afzal Guru and in the aftermath of Gool firing incident in which four persons were killed.
